Alego Usonga Member of Parliament Samuel Atandi has urged Siaya County Assembly members to halt impeachment proceedings against Governor James Orengo, suggesting voters should decide his fate in the 2027 general elections.

• Atandi believes impeaching Governor Orengo, with elections about a year away, would be politically wasteful.
• A group of Siaya youth have defended Governor Orengo, praising his leadership and even proposing he vies for the presidency in 2027.
• Atandi raised concerns over alleged financial mismanagement and a recruitment scandal in the health sector, while youth representatives dismissed calls for impeachment.
